¾s of my jobs list on my 4x4 (which is seeing more user than normal, not less due to my parents having hubby's SUV) either involves new wiring, new lights or step ladders! Usually all 3. Got it through its rego luckily, but now I really need to sort the lighting issues out. Unless I'm on main beam, I can't see a darn thing and if I'm reversing, it's by Braille!
And in the interests of the thread... roasted sweet potato and butternut squash soup with IKEA veggie balls and the last of the current block of the baked almond feta cheese that everybody including my mother loves!
Talking of which, she has her 2nd mother's day coming up. She was here in Australia for the British mothers day at the end of March. Well she's still here and it's Australian mother's day on Sunday (and probably American and NZ mother's day as well? ). She's requested jacket potatoes or jacket sweet potatoes with ratatouile and butterbeans. I may have missed the butterbeans but the aubergines in the supermarket today were simply huge so ratatouile is definitely on the list of things for Sunday... (homegrown spuds for the jackets, sweet and normal! ).
New Zealand Biscuits.
I think these are actually ANZAC biscuits but they were called New Zealand Biscuits in recipe book. Slightly over cooked unfortunately, I'll have another bash later.
Flour, butter, golden syrup, oats, flour, desiccated coconut, sugar and bicarb.

I absolutely would cook it again. I made a few small errors that I made note of. It will be better the next time that I cook it.
Yesterday evening: store bought Porcini mushroom ravioli with tomatoes and parmesan and achiote oil:
Store-bought ravioli is a real godsend around here. Let's me concentrate on the sauce/mix-ins.
No pics, but tuna salad on homemade bread and a really simple potato salad made with new potatoes, mayo, sour cream, chives, and salt and pepper.

Porchetta sliders with caramelized onions and roasted vege mayo. Dessert will be salted and chocolate chunk shortbread cookies.

Yip, I made some a few weeks ago, and posted pics too from memory. They are really nice.

Very nice.

Very nice.

I was being lazy. I'd been cooking nearly all day, so this was a quick fix for my partner's dinner. I agree that pre-made ravioli is quite a good product if you get the more expensive ones. I do find the fillings a bit 'pastey' though.

Yeah, that's the ingredients for what we call ANZAC biscuits here. Which stands for Australia New Zealand Army Corp... they (or a close variation of this more modern recipe) are famous for apparently being mailed from down under to men serving on the frontlines in Europe during WW1. They needed to be capable of surviving the weeks or months it took for them to arrive.
We recently had ANZAC Day here (25th April) and we all get to baking our version of them for on and around this day for honouring those who have served in various theatres of conflict throughout our short history.
